To seek criminal charges on the police they would have to go to the district attorneys office. I seriously doubt the DA would take the case on either the police or the restaurant. It would be so much more effective to take them to civil court.

Dave, it makes me feel better that another LEO on here was surprised there was a TCA for facilities. I am still shocked that there is a TCA forbidden interracial marriages. I about croaked when I read about it and someone asked me how they go about seeking prosecution.

I know E-4 is a completely different beast but I keep thinking of two E-4's I have met in life. One decided to come back in after being out 25yrs, SPC Miller and he had a huge beer gut. He was a pretty good guy, had the longest ERB you had ever seen in your life to include a Jungle Expert Badge. He would always tell stories you knew were BS but he had actual true stories he would not share. It turned out he was had been a Drill Sgt, he never mentioned it until a division SGM came by to see him and the SGM said Miller was his Drill Sgt. The other guy, I am so imbarressed that I can't remember his name, but he was one of my brigade commanders who left to come back as a SPC in the same brigade.

^ Wow, I speechless.

Well it is a civil matter and they can try to recoup or seek whatever damages they seem fit. The cop should have done a report if he chose to help the buisness at all. Some departments want a report on everything and some say only if we have to. Really there isn't anything necessarily wrong with the police doing what they did. Truthfully the cop could do a report tomorrow if saw fit, especially if he was still doing "an investigation". Some chiefs don't want reports until there are enough details for it to be worth the paper it is written on. Do I think this is crap? Yes I do but that buisness has the right to request payment and they can sue if they like. If they had a sign that read restrooms are for customers only then they may have a case. If it were to go to civil court and the defendant lost it may cost several hundred dollars. The restaurant does not have a case according to TCA 39-17-105

The only issue I see is the LE agency gave out the information. Everywhere I have ever worked they have to wait to get it off the report. In this case there was not a report. I bet those people would be really pissed if they knew some agencies, like Chattanooga, are not even blackening out socials.

I used then for a while as a teenager/young adult with great experience. I like everyone else never filed a claim. I use USAA for everything now with no complaints, and yes I have filed a claim.

I think gun manufacturers are selling about as many .40's as 9's or 45's. The difference is people are shooting the 9's and hoarding 9 ammo. Most people that have .40's don't really shoot them often, except me but I reload. Something else is ammo manufacturers have for a long time been cranking out a lot of .40 ammo for LE/Government agencies. I think the excessive 40 ammo on the shelves will dry up about the time a lot of 9 and other calibers start to reappear.

If you can find 9mm, just buy it. I believe what you are seeing is 2012's .40 ammo that is still on shelves compadres to 2013's 9mm that has cost the retailer a premium. I have noticed hoarders like 9mm, 223, and 22lr. I confirmed this when I went to GT Distributors a while back and they told me I could buy as much .40 S&w ammo as I like.

I have time as an active duty MP and time in the guard as a MP. Active Duty was the experience of a lifetime to see stupidity amongst all MOS's. Of course I have seen MP's get stupid, I have seen them all. I can see it now, these guys thought that no one knew those magazines were there and that no one would miss them. I am not saying it is was right and I would not have taken them, but I have known plenty of supply Sgts say they don't know what to do with" x" item, I am not supposed to have those, go throw these away in your trunk. The military has a redicilous way of wanting/not wanting some items. I have said it for years, I wished the military would just pay us less and give us all the equipment. It would have made life so much easier. Obviously firearms would/should be heavily accountable. However, the likely hood that this was just plain theft is very likely.

From what I gather you can pretty much use your regular powder and use the min. amount and weigh the shot to how many grains the bullet in your data would be.

Knoxville Police Looking at New Pistols
Patton replied to Moped's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
When THP switched to Gen 4 G31's about a year ago they could buy the Gen3's for about $400 not really a huge savings verses a blue label for $431 OTD. KPD and KCSO, until this year, have been using G22's for about a decade. -

Could you imagine if something happened to the big O and we had that idiot. -
I have never done it myself but I have heard of a lot of others making their own shot shells like that.

I never could get my Kimber to run right. In all fairness I did pick it up used. I have a friend that has a whole closet full of 1911's but no Kimbers. -

Just How Long Will It Take To Reload This Batch
Patton replied to runco's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
That's true, you could sell that be brass and buy enough factory ammo for a lifetime. -
^NAA will upgrade older NAA free so you can safely load all 5 chambers. I would love to see pictures of a older, well worn NAA.

I am going to throw out some personal experience here. When I first became a cop, the first homicide I ever went to was one. Shot to the head with a .22lr. I think of it everytime I drop my NAA in my pocket. I also have read the story of a SC Trooper who shot a suspect 5 times wit a .357 mag before the suspect shot the trooper once with a 22mag killing the trooper. The suspect is now playing basketball and lifting weights in prison. I figure I am up close and personal if I ever need to use a BUG. What are the odds that I will need a BuG as a off duty cop or civilian anyway.

Co-worker says it's illegal to have more than 10,000$ on your person?
Patton replied to timcar86's topic in General Chat
I'm pretty sure it is the state qualifying them but what is important is the officer can not testify that his k-9 is certified to find money. I know some of the traffic interdiction units have dogs but most do not. They rely solely on intuition and intel which finds them a lot. -
It is and on paper it shows. However, putting a baby Glock in my pocket and then the Shield, I could not really notice a difference. OWB I still had a hard time noticing a difference if I partially unloaded the baby Glock. The Shield shoots a lot better and feels better than a Glock. Ultimately the Shield not be small enough and the safety is what turned me away from keeping it. That and my personal love for j frame revolvers.

I keep thinking of things to say. The NAA's have had a huge price Increase, a reasonable price for a new .22lr version would be $215 and the std mag version $245. These prices are about $40 more than 1 year ago.
